Amber

Recipe Description

This recipe is a clone of http://hopville.com/recipe/480780/american-amber-ale-recipes/bells-amber-clone with some slight differences. I accidentally grabbed the darker Munich malt and I used WYeast instead of a culture from the Bell Amber bottle.

Yeast

American Ale Yeast (Wyeast 1056) (Liquid)

Directions

Infusion Step: Mash at 154 °F (68 °C) for 90 minutes.

Brew as usual. The primary fermentor temperature is listed as what it is because that's the temperature of my house in the winter. My carbonation time and temperature are based on force carbonating rather than bottle conditioning.
